So, I'm trying to get control points automatically generated.
I've used both the "Align..." button in the Assistant tab and the
"Create control points" button in the Images tab, but the result is
the same: all three (patfree-panomatic, panomatic and Autopano-SIFT-
C) fail. I'm running Hugin version "Hugin 2010.1.0-vsn5102(Mac)."
The Machine is a rather old G4 Power Macintosh, with a dual processor
upgrade, but it's still a PPC computer. The OS version is OS X 10.5.8.
Trying to start simply, I'm using 9 full-frame fisheye input images.
1200 x 1793 px. 16-bit TIFFs, saved in portrait orientation. I used
the "Mask" feature on the two nadir images.
I first try "patfree-panomatic"..
This one explicitly crashes. (I'll be happy to post or send the full
crash report somewhere... just didn't want to fill this message with
it.)
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000008
After which, the "finding control points" window cannot be closed.
[From now on I'll call this the "FCP Window"] Pressing "Cancel"
results in message "Hugin Error - Failed to kill process 35432, error
3: no such process."
Well I suppose that if a control point generator crashes, then maybe
that process would no longer exist. But if so, shouldn’t whatever's
driving the FCP window be aware (or be made aware) of this fact and
respond in a more reasonable way to the "Cancel" button?
As it is, I have to Force Quit Hugin to escape from the sitution.
(If using the Assitant tab,behind the FCP window I see another window
named "Aliging image" - "Finding corresponding points" <empty progress
bar> "Elapsed time: 0:00:00")
Try Autopano-SIFT-C
Appears to succeed, with last few lines in "finding control points"
window reading
Creating output file "/var/folders/Hg/HgTVbhBpG7GpGWUU2vjMhE++
+TI/-Tmp-/ap_reshKdo2t"
You can now load the output file into hugin.
Notice: guessed image format and field-of-view, please check and
adjust.
But the same problem occurs trying to close the "finding control
points" window. (A different process number is reported, of course.)
By the way, why is it "guessing" the image format and FoV? The source
files have EXIF data in them and I set a "lens" for the images on the
Camera and Lens tab.
Try Panomatic.
Also appears to succeed (last two lines read "--- Write output --- ...
Detection took 73.514 seconds."), but again the FCP window stays up
and "Cancel" fails. I must Force Quit Hugin. No control points exist
in the project when I re-open it.
Any ideas on what I should do next?
By the way, when this works correctly what IS supposed to happen?
Does the FCP window just close?
Thanks,
eo
